 * What does “Error Log” mean and how do i prevent this from happening?
    It’s a 
   bit annoying that the queue stops whenever i get the error. is it possible to
   auto retry the encoding whenever there’s an Error Log?

 * That’s strange. I’ve never seen that error before. Where exactly are you seeing
   it? Can you post a screenshot?

 * This is a problem I’ve been seeing for many years. I believe it has something
   to do with other cron jobs on your system that periodically interrupt stdout,
   which makes the plugin think that no encoding is taking place, but I can’t replicate
   it on any of my test systems so I’ve never come up with a way to fix it. The 
   queue shouldn’t necessarily stop completely, but as you can see the plugin tried
   all three of those formats and none of them could start correctly, so why should
   it assume that trying again would have a different effect? If you can help me
   figure out what’s causing the error by looking at your server logs when it happens
   I would really appreciate it. This user made a lot of progress on the issue a
   few years ago. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/encoding-issues-no-log-file-no-encoding-happens?replies=15](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/encoding-issues-no-log-file-no-encoding-happens?replies=15)

 * > The queue shouldn’t necessarily stop completely
 * so it should skip to the next video right? it does that on my side but only when
   the queue page is open. the queue continues only when i open the page again.
 * cant you make it retry after X minutes as an option?

 * Yes, I can see something like that working.
